Mediterranean Hegemony Road

In order to complete the task as much as possible, Dante Christophe has delegated to the maximum extent. The battlefield is ever-changing, and it is difficult to determine how to give the enemy the greatest damage!

"Then the commander-in-chief? Would it be okay if we fired a few more artillery pieces?" the artillery regiment commander asked with concern

Dante Christophe replied without hesitation: "Yes! The battlefield is ever-changing, as long as you can hit people, the enemy has not surrendered, and the shells have not blown eyes, accidental injury is inevitable!"

The shrewd person immediately understood Dante-Christoph's suggestion, and it can be "accidentally injured". It seems that the scope can be expanded. In addition to the army, there are a large number of civilians on the battlefield!

Serbia's poor ghost government doesn't even have the military uniforms now. In case of misidentification and accidental injury, it can be forgiven!

Frankly speaking, as a conscientious soldier, Dante Christophe disdain to do this! However, the hatred between Baosai has overwhelmed his conscience. As long as he doesn't directly slaughter civilians, he has no pressure!

Now Dante-Christoph has found that there are a lot of people below with bright eyes, and they have the meaning of a big fight!

He didn't mean to stop at all, but asked enthusiastically: "Any questions?"

"No!" everyone said in unison

Dante Christophe nodded, and then said: "The order given to us by the Military Council is that as soon as war is declared, the war can start, and it is up to you to decide when to fight! Then the Chief of Staff will arrange combat missions!"

The chief of staff thought for a while and said, "In order to eliminate the enemy to the greatest extent possible, as soon as war is declared, we will launch an attack!

I order: Regiment 107 and Regiment 109, you will serve as the first wave of troops to tear through the enemy's line of defense..."

"Yes"

...

After setting up the combat mission, the chief of staff warned: "The battlefield is ever-changing, and we must prepare for war from now on! In case the Serbs can't think of it and take the initiative to attack, you can't overturn the ship in the gutter!"

Everyone laughed. If the Serbian army on the opposite side was a regular army, it is estimated that this possibility is very high! But now that group of peasants, if they are used in defense, may still have some fighting power; if they take the initiative to attack, maybe a single artillery fire may collapse!

...

It's a pity that Ferdinand's declaration of war was in the evening, and Dante Christoph's immediate attack plan was forced to delay. After all, the power of artillery was almost abolished when attacking at night!

But the right army above him is now starting to move! Although the right army is the smallest in number, its combat effectiveness is no weaker than that of the left army!

Two main divisions plus two artillery regiments, these two divisions had night combat experience in the last Bulgarian war.

At the end of the 19th century, communication was not so developed. Even telegrams took time. The Bulgarian army could know the time in advance, but the Serbian army had to wait for the notice!

From the time Ferdinand declared war, the news reached the front-line generals, even if it was efficient, it would take several hours!

Why are many classic wars fought at night? It's not because the night is not conducive to combat, and it is also the time when the defense is the most slack!

Popov, the commander-in-chief of the Right Road Army (1885, when the Russians evacuated the officers in the Serbian War, Popov, who was only a captain at that time, was with Captain Atanas-Bendlev and Orimpiy). -Captain Penlov and others, were ordered to command the army to defeat Serbia in a critical situation.)

You read that right, the commander in the Bulgarian War nine years ago only had the rank of captain!

There was no way that after the Russians evacuated the officers, there were not so many officers in Bulgaria at all, and the situation was in crisis, and those with related backgrounds hid.

Popov, a young officer, was fortunate enough to be a member of the blamer, but when they won, they became heroes!

After Ferdinand came to the throne,

After cleaning up some of the "military veterans", these outstanding generals began to rise to the fore!

Popov, who was a lieutenant colonel battalion commander in 1887, was promoted to colonel brigade commander in 1889, was promoted to division commander in 1892, and is now appointed commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army!

As the hero of the last Pau War, he is no fool! Military literacy has also passed the Ferdinand assessment, and only have the opportunity to rise to the sky!

The reason why they chose to attack at night was completely forced by the Serbs! Who made the Vidin area unfavorable to the battle of the large army, and it was not a strategic location and was not taken seriously?

The Serbs on the opposite side put 80,000 troops, which seems to be a lot, but unfortunately these people are not used for defense! Most of them are young and strong recruited locally. They can be regarded as training camps in the rear. They are training and defending!

If you just want to win the war, there is no need to fight at all! Threatening the capital of Serbia also requires the left army to break through Niš, so that the right army can move forward without worries, otherwise the supply line will be cut off!

But now Ferdinand's strategy is to take the opportunity to weaken Serbia, so Popov's task is important! Once a breakthrough was made, pushing the front to the Great Morava River, the Serbs had to go to hell!

There is no reason not to eat the meat that you put in your mouth!

Raid the regular army at night, and worry about being in an ambush! It's perfect for raiding a peasant who has just put down his hoe!

Because Popov's army was suddenly transferred, and all of them were marked with militia signs, they did not attract the attention of the Serbs!

Anyway, this is not the place for a decisive battle. As long as Nish is not lost, there is basically no strategic value here. Their headquarters is in Nish!

At midnight, the Serb who had just finished a day of training was in his sleep when he was suddenly stunned by the sound of artillery fire!

The Bulgarian army is attacking!

The Serbian officers began to organize the army while scolding the Bulgarians for the shameless sneak attack! It's a pity that the war came too suddenly, and they are not regular troops!

In the dark night, the Bulgarian artillery is aiming at the light! A raid on the Serbian barracks in the Danube area, and there was total chaos!

Officers can't find their soldiers, and soldiers can't find their officers! The entire military camp was in chaos. Under the tension, a soldier's gun went off, and then caused a chain reaction. In ancient terms, the camp screamed!

...

A tragic night battle broke out, and the front-line officers in Serbia on the other side finally received the notice of the start of the war!

The Bulgarians are really here, and the officers of the Serbian Army Headquarters in Nis are busy meeting!

The commander-in-chief of the front line, Suborovic, the hawkish leader of the Serbian army, is now looking at the map with worry!

Don't look at his usual slogan shouting, what is it to beat Sofia and capture Ferdinand alive!

That's just for prestige, political needs! Now that the war is really coming, Suborovich has a hard time accepting it!
